4th of July Mendocino Coast Get-Away

Better late than never for this 4th of July Mendocino vacation trip. We booked this trip 10 months in advance knowing that places might book up quickly with the holiday weekend. We rented the perfect house off AirBNB just a short 15 minute walk to the water.

We had photographed two weddings in 2019 along the California coast. After one of those weddings being right after the 4th of July, I knew I wanted to spend my birthday in Mendocino with family and friends.

I took my first baby bump photo at Glass Beach in 2019 and it was incredible to go back with Kaizen. We did the perfect amount of exploring, eating yummy sea food and relaxing at our AirBNB. Our good friends from Arizona also joined us and we were elated to be able to spend time together. We had always dreamed of doing family vacations together and we made it a reality.

Enjoy some of my favorite images on my film camera along with a little video from our Rainmaker Family YouTube Channel at the end.
